Wish they would have published the pictures of the two of us tearing up the dragon! They had also taken some shots of us in the parking lot. Guess our ugly mugs didn't make it past the copy editor

Damn, busted by Raul. So, did the article make us (err... me) sound like idiots?


Awesome man...awesome! Great article...shame they didn't use your photos. But I think most of us would agree why...

I'm thinking of "alerting" these publications of our annual events...it would be cool (and give us credibility with American Honda) if/when we are featured in an article.
Do you think that American Honda wants to be associated with an organization that condones hanging the tail out at 105 mph on a PUBLIC road with a speed limits of 30 mph? My guess is no.

105 mph........I don't think that you have the stones to do 105 mph on the Dragon, especially if Joe was riding with you at the time.

The hilarious part is that the guys over at East TN Riders, the main motorcycle forum for this area, are complaining. Check this out:

Who's written a rebuttal to the "You can get it up to 105 if you hang the tail out" commentary in Road & Track? I read that yesterday and wanted to hunt down those Stook drivers have a "talk" with them.
Yeah, I re-read that last night and didn't like it at all....that is all we need to do is encourage cagers to come up and run 105 MPH...
Despite the fact that I love riding my motorcycle and understand where they are coming from, the S2000 lover in me is deeply offended that we're lumped in with all the other "cagers" by some of those guys. I'd like to see most of them run with Jason or another really good S2000 driver sometime, lol.
